Bookmarked this to watch later, but my fantasy timeline includes crowdsourcing constant surveilence of tech bros, Zuck, Flock execs, data broker CEOs, Brin, and the rest. Livestream every single thing they ever say or do. Speech to text for a searchable archive by topic or location or time. Anyone can go back, see what they did 3 years ago on Tuesday.
If it’s good for the goose…
Well I guess in practice it is very hard, if legal at all. Zuck travels by private jet. Private limos. Catered meals. Buys out all the houses on his block, for privacy. Doesn’t mingle with the poors. At those levels of wealth, you can carve out a private little corner of the world just for you.
Love this idea. If it’s visible or audible in public,it’s legal to record. It’s a fine line against stalking, so maybe do it with a few hundred of your friends.
Even privatebjets emit a transponder signal. I wonder how hard it would be to sniff this out of the air. Maybe some of our HAM friends would know.
Of course, obligatory IANAL.

Also NAL, but that’s an interesting idea. If I constantly follow Zuck around, might be stalking. But if I spot him Mon at 3pm and never see him again in my life, and someone else Mon at 4pm, and someone at 5pm… I wonder if that’s a legal loophole. Tho, might be hard to spot him at all.

There was a big controvery over Elon’s transponder. Also for Taylor Swift and other very high profile celebs. I lost track of where it ended up. From here,
The most prominent was @ElonJet, which tracked Elon Musk’s air travel and amassed more than half a million followers in 2022. The account’s creator, then 19-year-old Jack Sweeney, became embroiled in a public feud with Musk after rejecting a cash offer from the Tesla CEO to delete the account. Sweeney was eventually banned from Twitter after Musk acquired the platform in October 2022.
Ofc just being banned from Twitter doesn’t effect the data, which is still available on public web sites.
They moved to mastodon!
If you found this interesting, I highly recommend checking out his YT (Benn Jordan).
He’s also doing a lot of interviews/podcasts of late, talking about Flock specifically. Also on YT.
This dude is amazing, he’s also the person behind the music artist The Flashbulb (as well as a handful of other names), I listened to his tracks a ton growing up so it’s super cool to see him doing so much other cool stuff!
It’s shocking there hasn’t been a major amateur drone attack in the USA yet.
Liberals and the majority live in the “don’t rock the boat” life style, constantly and permanently. Which means very little cases of lashing out.
I would love to rock the boat, but the boat is 20 hours away by car and my car is 15 years old… Also drones are expensive and so is gas.
Also the chances of any kind of meaningful change happening from just one person rocking the boat is very small compared to if there was mass organizing, which is very difficult in the US due to a multitude of reasons, such as a car-centric culture, billionaires successfully propagandizing the public into blaming each other rather than the elite, global mass surveillance, active sabotage of any even remotely anti-capitalist organizational efforts, etc.
Very interesting, more folk should support such investigative journalism
Benn Jordan seems cool
Fantastic work, this is how it should be!
